[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/ryan.crasto/custom-songwriting/gallery) I love stripping songs back to their core. Whether it's a cover to set a mood or a custom track for a special moment, let's make something honest together. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Here is my acoustic cover of the song "Human" by Dodie. I love her intricate melodies and honest lyrics, and I tried to capture that same delicate feeling in this simple guitar and vocal performance.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/92829ecf-d111-4513-a170-846496f759b7) - [Video: This is my take on the Elvis Presley classic "Don't Be Cruel."

Creating harmonies with just my voice is a fun challenge and shows how I can build a full sound without instruments.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/5160ccfb-1954-4bda-86d6-e6614fda2631) ## About Acoustic Covers & Renditions When I cover a song, I don't just try to replicate the original track. I spend time finding the right arrangement for my acoustic guitar or ukulele, layering vocals, and getting that intimate, raw sound I love. It is a bit of a process, but hearing a track come together from just a few voice memos to a finished piece is my favorite part of the work. Every cover you see here, from the intricate melodies of Dodie's 'Human' to my a cappella take on 'Carol of the Bells', represents my approach to music. I record everything in my little home studio, usually with just my condenser mic and a guitar. I treat every cover as a technical challenge. For songs with complex harmonies, I record, stack, and mix my own vocals to get that full, choral effect without needing a big studio. This is the same process I use when creating custom songs for you. If you like the 'vibe' of these renditions, I can bring that same stripped-back, indie-folk texture to your personal project. Whether you need a birthday gift, a surprise for an anniversary, or a unique track for a short film, my goal is to capture the small, real details of your story. I handle the writing, the guitar or ukulele instrumentation, and all the final mixing in my Mumbai studio. If you have a song idea in mind, Aajao (come on over), let's make it happen. ## About Ryan Crasto I’m Ryan. I quit my desk job to follow music, and honestly, I’m still the guy who gets awkward at parties. But when I’m in my home studio with a guitar, I feel right at home.
